Late-model vehicles have a factory bracket, pointed out here, in front of the crossmember on the framerail which is replaced with an Autofab bracket.The factory bracket can be left in place, but the new bracket also ties the steering box to the crossmember so the factory bracket should be removed as shown. After the bolt and spacer are removed from the forward steering box bolt, the bracket and new bolt to the box are installed. An existing 5/8-inch hole is used to mount the bracket to the crossmember with a 5/8-inch bolt and locknut.
